LET GOD'S LOVE GROW IN YOU AND OVERFLOW TO ONE ANOTHER

1 Thessalonians 3 Paul was concerned about the church. He said: I sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker, God’s minister, to visit you to strengthen your faith and encourage you and to keep you from becoming fainthearted in all the troubles you were going through. (But of course you know that such troubles are a part of God’s plan for us Christians. Even while we were still with you we warned you ahead of time that suffering would soon come and it did.) As I was saying, when I could bear the suspense no longer, I sent Timothy to find out whether your faith was still strong. I was afraid that perhaps Satan had gotten the best of you and that all our work had been useless. And now Timothy has just returned and brings the welcome news that your faith and love are as strong as ever and that you remember our visit with joy and want to see us just as much as we want to see you. So we are greatly comforted, dear brothers, in all of our own crushing troubles and suffering here, now that we know you are standing true to the Lord. We can bear anything as long as we know that you remain strong in him. How can we thank God enough for you and for the joy and delight you have given us in our praying for you? For night and day we pray on and on for you, asking God to let us see you again, to fill up any little cracks there may yet be in your faith.May God our Father himself and our Lord Jesus send us back to you again. And may the Lord make your love to grow and overflow to each other and to everyone else, just as our love does toward you. This will result in your hearts being made strong, sinless, and holy by God our Father so that you may stand before him guiltless on that day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns with all those who belong to him. FRIENDS, LETS COMFORT ONE ANOTHER AND SHARE THE LOVE OF GOD WITH OTHERS.1 John 3:23 And this is what God says we must do: Believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another.
